Stop the codex restart refusal at its root - #480
Conversation
A codex agent's conversation could not be identified. Discovery matched rollouts by working directory alone, and a checkout you have worked in twice has a transcript per conversation -- on this machine 19 of 20 codex checkouts do, up to 68 in one -- so restore refused with "Codex has N possible resumable sessions" for almost every agent that had ever been restarted. Time answers what the directory cannot: the agent's own conversation is the one opened after the agent was. `session_meta` carries the instant codex opened it, and that never moves. `codex_since_ms` existed for exactly this and neither production caller ever set it, because it filtered on the file's MTIME -- a different fact. A transcript is appended to for as long as anyone is talking in it, so an hour-old conversation still in use looks newer than a launch that just happened. It reads the record's own timestamp now, and the file's mtime only when the record carries none. Narrowing runs only where the answer was already a refusal, so nothing that resolved before can now resolve differently. Two ways it could have turned a refusal into a WRONG answer, both closed: Narrowing to nothing is not an empty history. It means every transcript here predates this agent, so its own is missing or unreadable. `0` is the arm that already means "start fresh" one level up, so reading it that way would have dropped a conversation that exists. It refuses instead. Narrowing to one is not proof that one is yours. A second id-less agent in the same checkout whose own transcript never appeared -- codex died before writing `session_meta`, or it was pruned -- leaves its neighbour's as the only survivor, and adopting it puts two agents in one conversation. A shared checkout does not narrow at all. And a timestamp that will not parse is not an absent one: falling through to mtime there would reinstate the bug in the direction that includes the wrong rollout. Mutation-proved, each diff-verified to have applied: reverting to mtime fails both discovery tests; letting a shared checkout narrow fails a_second_unidentified_agent_in_the_checkout_blocks_narrowing; reading a narrow-to-zero as a fresh start fails narrowing_away_every_candidate_refuses_rather_than_starting_fresh; falling back to mtime on a bad timestamp fails an_unparseable_timestamp_is_not_treated_as_a_missing_one. The two discovery tests carry positive controls, because asserting None passes just as well when the fixture never wrote anything. `time` gains the `parsing` feature; it was already a dependency with `formatting` only. This does not yet stop the restart guard refusing, which keys on the absent field rather than on whether a conversation exists. That is next.

The control-plane restart guard refused for any live exact-resume agent with no `backendSessionId`. Codex cannot be told its conversation id at launch -- the CLI has no flag for it -- so every codex row is born without one and never acquires one, and the guard therefore refused for the life of the agent. It refused for agents whose checkout holds no transcript at all. That is what blocked a local install today: one running codex agent, a worktree with zero rollouts in it, and a control plane that could not be restarted without --force. A guard is for something that can be lost. It now asks whether a conversation exists, and only a CONFIRMED absence clears it. Confirmed is the load-bearing word. `codex_backend_session_ids_for_cwd` answers `Ok(empty)` both when the store holds nothing for this checkout and when the store is not where this process is looking, and those are different facts: waving a restart through on the second drops the conversation the guard exists for. `CodexConversationPresence` separates them, and `Unknown` -- store absent, or unreadable anywhere in the walk -- keeps the agent at risk. What `Unknown` does NOT detect is a store that exists but is the wrong one. If an agent wrote under a different CODEX_HOME than the daemon resolves, the scan succeeds, matches nothing, and the answer is confidently wrong. Agents inherit the daemon's CODEX_HOME through the managed-launch allowlist, which is the only reason that is not live today; the comment says so rather than implying the enum covers it. The cwd comparison now trims trailing slashes, the way the Claude path already did. A `worktreePath` carrying one -- user-supplied task worktrees can -- made a checkout that HAS a conversation read as having none, which is the direction that loses it. Perf: the scan walks every transcript in the store (232 here), and both poll loops re-ran it every 250ms for up to 30s. One answer per checkout per restart attempt now. It could not change in that window anyway -- nothing fills a codex id in while we wait, which is why the poll was only ever useful to claude. Mutation-proved, each diff-verified to have applied: restoring the unconditional refusal fails a_codex_agent_with_no_conversation_does_not_block_a_restart; collapsing Unknown into ConfirmedAbsent fails presence_separates_an_empty_store_from_an_unreadable_one; dropping the slash trim fails a_trailing_slash_does_not_hide_a_conversation. The two new guard tests are byte-identical fixtures differing only in seeded presence, so neither can pass by being filtered out earlier. Also restores a `#[test]` my first edit had stolen from control_plane_restart_guard_ignores_stale_topology_without_live_window, which clippy caught as dead code -- it had stopped running.

The restart guard protected codex agents by asking whether their checkout held a transcript. A checkout accumulates one per agent that ever ran there, so that question is true from the second agent onward and stays true for ever -- and codex writes no rollout at all until its first turn, measured at +3m19s after launch. A codex agent therefore owned nothing and was still named, and `aimux restart` refused on behalf of conversations belonging to agents that exited days ago. Proven on this machine: an agent spawned into a checkout holding nine older transcripts, with none of its own, blocked every control-plane restart under the previous build. Presence now takes the session's own `createdAt` as a floor, which is the same field and the same question the restore path already narrows by. The two cases stay complementary: a session that genuinely resumed records its id through RecordBackendSession and never reaches presence, and a session whose discovery failed launched fresh and owns no older conversation. A `createdAt` that will not parse falls back to the checkout-wide question, which blocks more readily and is the right default for a guard. The cache key gains the launch instant, so the test seam can no longer be a pre-seeded entry -- a test seeding by project root would have stopped injecting the moment the key grew, fallen through to a real scan of whichever codex store the developer has, and still passed. It is an explicit override on CodexPresenceLookup instead. Both new gates were prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: forcing the floor to None fails the runtime test, and making codex_conversation_presence_since ignore its argument fails the integration test.

Declaring exact resume is not the same as being able to do it. A tool is
treated as exactly resumable when its `resumeArgs` carry a `{sessionId}`,
and the restart guard then holds a restart open until that session has a
`backendSessionId` -- but nothing checked that anything could ever write
one. Codex is the case that bit: no `sessionIdFlag` to be told an id at
launch, so every session was born without one, and the guard waited the
full timeout and refused for the life of the agent.
There are two acquisition paths and no third: the tool is told its id at
launch, or aimux reads that tool's own store afterwards. Codex has the
second, claude has both, and `has_backend_session_id_acquisition_path`
now says so. A tool with neither is skipped by the guard rather than
waited on, because the refusal protects nothing: with no id `resumeArgs`
can never be filled in, so that conversation is unresumable whether the
control plane restarts or not. It is a custom project tool that reaches
this, codex being discoverable -- and such a tool previously blocked every
restart for ever, exactly as codex did.
The same shape now warns at spawn instead of saying nothing. It rides the
existing restartRestore channel, and the lifecycle fixture that asserted
silence for a `mock` tool of precisely this shape was asserting the bug;
it asserts the warning now.
The gate iterates the shipped tools and names the ones it protects, so a
tool losing the declaration shrinks the gate visibly rather than silently.
A hand-written list of the discovery arms is compared against what
discovery actually does, per-key, rather than against a comment.
Three gates, each prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first:
dropping the discovery disjunct fails the shipped-config gate ON CODEX,
desyncing the discoverable list fails the parity test, and disabling the
guard skip fails the custom-tool test.

Use the launch-time floor for the initial Codex lookup.
The restart guard checks Codex presence after the session’s createdAt and permits restart when no post-launch transcript exists. Restore currently checks the entire checkout first. With one older transcript, it can record that transcript for the new session. With multiple older transcripts, it can block after the restart guard already permitted the restart.
When createdAt parses, pass its timestamp to the first Codex lookup. Keep the checkout-wide lookup when the timestamp is missing or invalid. The existing empty-result arm then correctly returns AllowFreshRelaunch.

Two findings from adversarial review, both in the direction that loses history. A rollout whose `session_meta.timestamp` will not parse was dropped by the floored scan, so a transcript that IS this session's but cannot be dated read as `ConfirmedAbsent` and the restart proceeded over it. Discovery is right to drop it -- adopting an undateable rollout reopens the wrong conversation -- but the guard must not read that exclusion as proof there is nothing to lose. The scan now reports `undateable` alongside `ids`, and presence answers `Unknown`, which blocks. The floor also moved to AFTER the checkout comparison: it ran first, so an undateable rollout was discarded before anyone knew whose checkout it belonged to. The floor excluded conversations older than the session but said nothing about who owns the newer ones. A long-lived id-less agent whose neighbours opened conversations after it started read theirs as possibly its own and refused every restart for ever -- the original bug, surviving for exactly the agents most likely to share a checkout. The guard now passes the topology's recorded `backendSessionId`s through the existing `codex_exclude_backend_session_ids`, so a conversation another session has claimed is not counted as this one's. That set spans every status, because a stopped or graveyarded session still owns what it recorded. It helps only where the neighbour's id was recorded, which for codex is still uncommon; it is strictly better than not asking. This also means the earlier before/after proof was order-dependent: the probe's transcript fell below the subject's floor only because of the order they were spawned. Reversed, the subject would still have blocked. Two comments disagreed about what "narrowed to nothing" means. `agent_launch_helpers` calls it a refusal because it is being asked which conversation to reopen and has no answer; the guard calls it nothing to lose. Both are right, and both now say which question they are answering. Gates, each prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: making `undateable` unreachable fails the undateable test, and narrowing the claimed set to running sessions fails the claimed-set test.

Round 1 addressed —
|
A process records the path it resolved, not the path it was handed. On macOS `/tmp` and `/var` are symlinks into `/private`, so the same checkout reaches the cwd comparison under two spellings and compares unequal. That used to be harmless: a session whose conversation could not be found stayed at risk and the restart was refused. This branch is what makes it dangerous -- a guard that reads "found nothing" as "nothing to lose" turns a spelling mismatch into a killed conversation. Hardening the comparison is therefore part of this change, not adjacent to it. Equal strings still answer immediately, so the cost is a stat on a path that already failed to match, and only when both sides still exist. Two paths that did not match as strings and cannot both be canonicalised are not the same checkout on that evidence. The Claude path's own cwd comparison is left alone deliberately. A mismatch there returns an Err rather than an exclusion, which presence reads as Unknown and blocks, so its failure direction is already the safe one -- and claude never reaches the presence path, having been told its id at launch. Gate prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: making the canonicalised comparison always answer false fails the symlink test, whose control is a genuinely different checkout that must still read absent.

- Around line 688-700: Update codex_scan_for_cwd to canonicalize the trimmed cwd
once, then thread that optional resolved path through
collect_codex_session_ids_for_cwd and its recursive calls. Change
is_same_checkout to accept the cached canonical cwd and resolve only the
recorded checkout path per rollout, while preserving direct string-match and
failure behavior.
Review comments at @native/crates/aimux/src/daemon/runtime.rs:
- Around line 2262-2267: Initialize CodexPresenceCache before the initial risk
scan in wait_for_restart_backend_id_capture_with_options, and call
restart_backend_id_at_risk_sessions_cached with that cache instead of
restart_backend_id_at_risk_sessions. Reuse the same cache in the polling loop
and remove the later duplicate cache initialization.

`attachments/hosted` was a needle for remote-control code in the local binary. It is not one. It is the URL path composed at attachment_hosting.rs:301, inside the decision code about whether to upload -- the same local code the comment above it already removed `maybe_host_published_attachment` for, on exactly this reasoning. It should have left at the same time. That module carries no cfg gating at all, so the literal is compiled into both variants and survives into the local binary whenever the optimiser happens not to strip it. Whether it does is rodata luck, which is the failure mode this file already documents for `ureq`: it passed on 9862f52 and failed on beac8c8, where the only delta was an fs::canonicalize call in an unrelated module, and the same local build on macOS contains none of these needles at all. Dropping it costs nothing, because a path literal cannot upload anything. The local variant's cargo tree is independently asserted to carry no ureq, tungstenite or other HTTP client, and the full variant is asserted to carry them, so that check fails in both directions. With no client in the tree there is no socket to open, whatever strings survive. The relay host, `wss://`, the uploader type and the remote CLI commands all remain needles. The gate's own suite still passes, including the case that deliberately trips it on `hosted_server`, so it can still fail.

Round 3 — CI caught something, and it was not what it looked like
That is the gate asserting the local build variant carries no remote-control It is not a leak. The matched needle is The evidence that this is layout, not capability:
So the needle was wrong, and the file already knew why. The comment above The boundary is unchanged. Dropping a path literal costs nothing, because a The gate can still fail. I want to be explicit that this is me changing a safety gate so my own PR goes |

aimux restartrefused on behalf of conversations that did not exist, and haddone so for the life of every codex agent. It blocked a local install, which is
how it surfaced.
Codex has no flag that can dictate its conversation id at launch, so every
codex session is born without a
backendSessionId. The restart guard held arestart open until that id appeared, and nothing in the system could ever write
one. Four commits, each with its own prove-failed gates.
What was wrong, in order of discovery

resumeArgscarrying{sessionId}, so the guard applied;there was no acquisition path behind the declaration.

machine: 232 rollouts across 20 checkouts, and 19 of the 20 hold more than
one — ambiguity is the normal case, not the edge.
a conversation. That is true from the second agent onward and stays true for
ever, so the guard refused for agents whose neighbours had exited days ago.

Codex writes no rollout until its first turn. A real spawn recorded

floor safe.

Gates
Five, each prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified before the run was
trusted — rustfmt silently reverted a mutation earlier in this work, so a green
run was not taken at face value:

what discovery actually does
Plus 779 lib tests, every integration file touching the restore warning, zero
clippy warnings, and

Known and not fixed here
Codex exact resume still is not real: nothing writes a
backendSessionIdintotopology, so resume depends on discovery at restore time. The launch-time
floor resolves the common case; a checkout with several post-launch transcripts
stays ambiguous and there is still no chooser.
